No Country for Old Men Scene 28 Summary

  • Llewellyn Moss wakes up in a Mexican hospital. The bounty hunter Carson Wells is sitting next to his bed with a bouquet of flowers. He tells Moss about Anton Chigurh and is impressed that Moss has seen Chigurh and lived to tell about it. We're pretty impressed, too, tbh.
  • Moss asks if Chigurh is supposed to be some kind of superman, but Wells simply answer by saying that Chigurh doesn't have a sense of humor.
  • Wells asks Moss some annoying questions about his past and realizes that both of them fought in the Vietnam War. He then drops the small talk and tells Moss to tell him where the two million dollars is. Otherwise Wells has no reason to protect Moss.
  • Moss tries to lol (lie out loud) about how he already spent all the money, but Wells is not amused. He responds by saying that Chigurh might currently be on his way to Odessa to kill Moss's wife Carla Jean.
  • Moss thinks that maybe Chigurh should be worried about him and not the other way around.
  • Carson Wells gets up to leave and says that he's staying in the Hotel Eagle on the opposite side of the river (the U.S. side). He tells Moss to give him a call whenever he's ready to cut a deal. Moss wants to know why he can't just cut a deal with Chigurh, but Wells tells him that it's impossible because Chigurh would kill him just for the inconvenience he's caused so far.
  • It seems that Chigurh lives by some weird sort of code that transcends stuff like money.
